It would be possible to hava javascript driven forms, but... > Forms that could be used, for > example, to help non experienced mailers to set up a clear message. .. it won't be able to send emails with that. You could construct a mailto:// URL that has a subject given and even there is a body tag that could be used, but unfortunately not all mail-clients support that syntax and thus it might not work well. The only way I see to reduce traffic on that list is to make that list a moderated-only list where people can subscribe, but only allowed posters can write directly, everything else is passed through a bunch of moderators. The moderators would reject every non-conformant request with a standard-answer and only let those pass that match the minimum quality standard. But for that to work, you need to have quite a number of moderators that can handle the load. I cannot think of another method than by humans sorting out the mails. A webpage can lead users through the important points, but then you'd have to say: Please copy this text in your mail-client (since there is no "form to mailinglist" interface or similar, the user would have to use his own smtp-server/mail client to actually send the mail. > Who knows this? Where is a list with can's and cannots? Well, the cannots: Almost everything. Cans: (x)html, css, javascript/client side scripting. That's about it unfortunately. ciao Christian -- NP: Agressor - Someone To Eat --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
